Local Insider Tips

  • Everything is priced in US dollars — bring small bills, change for $20 can be hard
  • Altitude in Quito (2,850m) hits hard the first day; take it easy and hydrate
  • Use registered taxis or apps at night rather than hailing on the street
  • The Mitad del Mundo (equator monument) is a quick trip from Quito
  • Bus travel between cities is cheap and the easiest way to get around
